    Citadels of shadow PDF
We are going to tell a story together. The story of a lone individual stumbling upon clues to a terrible evil. At first they dismiss it, but piece by piece a picture emerges, until suddenly it becomes impossible to deny. They plunge into shadow, they recoil in horror, but it is already too late. The horrifying truth is laid bare and they are consumed by darkness.

Lovecraftesque is a GMless tabletop game that  creates a compelling cosmic horror tale in a single session of play. You tell the story of a lone Witness at the mercy of strange and terrifying events. The game creates a slow-building mystery, culminating in a climactic scene of worldview-destroying horror.

  • You create your own monsters and mystery that feel like something out of Lovecraft’s notebook.
  • All the players contribute clues to surprise and creep each other out.
  • The rules ensure that the story flows seamlessly, as if an invisible GM were guiding it.
  • There won’t be any Mi-Go or Deep Ones: you’ll get a completely fresh take on the genre.

LOVECRAFTESQUE IS A TTRPG FOR 1-5 PEOPLE AND TAKES 2-3 HOURS TO PLAY.
